Development in Leeds

Director of real estate at Rushbond, Mark Finch, said: “The Corn Exchange is at the core of the revival of the Kirkgate neighbourhood.

“Our proposals are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, with a series of measures to improve the experience, offer and qualities of this wonderful asset to a wider audience.

"These include key accessibility improvements, including new sensitively-designed ramps, the re-configuration and re-activation of the lower ground floor, through a new Kitchen Yard to enhance the overall food offer, and a transformational programme of art works and design interventions, to create a more vibrant internal environment.

“These plans are part of the wider investment plans by us and others in the Kirkgate neighbourhood, including the First White Cloth Hall.”
